注意:即使是上面提到的表示看法(Opinion) 的動(dòng)詞,《That•That•That —That用法的分析》p72-74認(rèn)為在下列情況下,也不發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)移否定。 (1) 當(dāng)think等動(dòng)詞的前面有副詞修飾,或者有強(qiáng)調(diào)作用的助動(dòng)詞do/ does/ did時(shí),不發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)移否定。例如:They firmly believe that their blood would not shed in vain.他們堅(jiān)信他們的血不會(huì)白流。 I do think you shouldn’t go there. 我確實(shí)認(rèn)為你不該去那里。 “Do you really expect that I didn’t notice the number? It was 2704.”“你真的認(rèn)為我連車號(hào)都沒(méi)注意嗎?車號(hào)是2704。” (2) 當(dāng)think等動(dòng)詞相互構(gòu)成并列謂語(yǔ)或同其他動(dòng)詞構(gòu)成并列謂語(yǔ)時(shí),不發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)移否定。例如: I think and believe that we can not hit the target by the end of the year. 我認(rèn)為且相信,我們?cè)谀甑浊笆遣荒芡瓿芍笜?biāo)的。 I think and hope that I’m not disturbing you too much. 我想且希望我這樣不會(huì)過(guò)分地打擾你。 (3) 當(dāng)think等動(dòng)詞以一般過(guò)去時(shí)、過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)、完成時(shí)或完成進(jìn)行時(shí)出現(xiàn)時(shí),不發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)移否定。例如: I imagined that you wouldn’t be able to come.我還以為你們會(huì)不來(lái)了呢。 He guessed that she hadn’t had enough to eat.他估計(jì)她是沒(méi)有足夠吃的。 I was thinking that you wouldn’t be going with us.我想你不會(huì)和我們一起去了。 I’ve often thought high life doesn’t agree with us.我常常這樣認(rèn)為,豪華的生活和我們是格格不入的。 I’ve been thinking that Estell cannot be a condition of your inheritance, if she was never mentioned by your guardian.我認(rèn)為你的保護(hù)人從來(lái)沒(méi)有提到過(guò)埃斯特拉,那么她不可能成為你繼承財(cái)產(chǎn)的條件。 (4) 當(dāng)think等動(dòng)詞以插入語(yǔ)的形式出現(xiàn)時(shí),不發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)移否定。例如:You don’t mind my smoking, I suppose. 我想,我抽煙你不會(huì)介意吧。 Conditions, I think, are not yet ripe for it. 條件嘛,我覺(jué)得還沒(méi)成熟。 She won’t have any objection, I reckon. 我估計(jì)她不會(huì)有什么意見(jiàn)。 (5) 在當(dāng)今英語(yǔ)中,think等動(dòng)詞為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)形式時(shí),也可直接否定從句,而且這種顯現(xiàn)越來(lái)越普遍。例如:They think (that) there is no way but to “pile up the agony”, to intensify the sense of danger and responsibility… 他們認(rèn)為,要使人們?cè)谒枷肷细痈杏X(jué)到它的危險(xiǎn)性和責(zé)任感……除了“夸大事實(shí)的令人痛苦的描寫(xiě)”以外就沒(méi)有其它方法了。 I guess you don’t have time to go out now you have young children. I reckon they will not come this evening. 在英語(yǔ)復(fù)合句中,根據(jù)“時(shí)態(tài)一致(Sequence of Tenses) ”, that從句中的時(shí)態(tài)通常要受主句時(shí)態(tài)的限制,從而表示出兩者之間的時(shí)間關(guān)系。 1. 若主句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)為“一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)”、“現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)”和“一般將來(lái)時(shí)”, that從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞中的時(shí)態(tài)可以按照其涉及的時(shí)間選用任何適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)態(tài),即不受主句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)的限制。例如: I think he often does it./he is doing it.he has done it./he will do it./he has been doing it./he did it yesterday./he was doing it then./he had done it by that time./he had been doing it till then./he will be doing it then./he will have done it by noon./he will have been doing it several hours by the time you return. I have heard /It is so./It was so./It will be so./It has ever been so. 2. 若主句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)為“一般過(guò)去時(shí)”,則that從句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要選用與過(guò)去有關(guān)的時(shí)態(tài)?煞譃橐韵虑闆r: (1) 如果that從句中的動(dòng)作發(fā)生在主句的動(dòng)作之前,則that從句中的動(dòng)詞可用過(guò)去完成時(shí)、過(guò)去完成進(jìn)行時(shí)或一般過(guò)去時(shí)。若用一般過(guò)去時(shí),that從句中通常有表示絕對(duì)過(guò)去的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。例如: She said she had been waiting for me a long time. He said he hadn’t seen any enemy troops when he left the village. The foreign guests told me that they had learnt a lot during their stay in The boy said was born in 1975. (2) 如果that從句中的動(dòng)作和主句的動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生,則that從句中的動(dòng)作用一般過(guò)去時(shí)或過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。例如: I thought you were free today. I was told that they were designing an educational CD-ROM. (3) 如果that從句中的動(dòng)作發(fā)生在主句的動(dòng)作之后,則that從句中的動(dòng)詞用過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)、過(guò)去將來(lái)進(jìn)行時(shí)或過(guò)去將來(lái)完成時(shí)。例如: She promised that she would give me whatever help I needed. They said they would be listening to a report on current affairs. They assured us that they would have accomplished the task in three days. 然而,that從句中不遵守“時(shí)態(tài)一致”的現(xiàn)象也是屢見(jiàn)不鮮。歸納起來(lái)有以下情況: 1. that從句表示的是客觀真理、客觀事實(shí)、格言或其它不受時(shí)間限制、影響的客觀存在的情況。例如: Long ago, people didn’t know that the earth moves round the sun. When she was a child, she knew that the Yangtze is the longest river in I say/said that a rolling stone gathers no moss. 注:如果that從句表示的是一個(gè)已被否定的過(guò)去的信念時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。例如: Ptolemy held that the sun went round the earth. << 上一頁(yè) [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] ... 下一頁(yè) >> |
